Looking for .NET book recommendations

I bought two books from Amazon and I think they're pretty good.

Applied Microsoft .Net Framework Programming

Programming Windows with C#: Core Reference
by Charles Petzold

You'll know the author if you've done windows programming with C in the past. This book basically teaches you how to build windows forms programs with C#. It's a good read because the author isn't boring.
 
For web programming I use ASP.NET Unleashed. It's a good book but the index sucks.

For Windows programming I use Programming Microsoft Visual Basic .NET (Core Reference).

I've used VB 6 and ASP in the past and I was worried that it would be difficult to learn .NET programming. However, with the books above I was coding within a week. .NET programming isn't that bad. I'm still run into problems only because I lack experience with the technology. But I come to this forum to find the answers to my problem.
